lost data

Is it possible to recover the data in a formated scsi drive who has a 5 raid array and in which the OS (windows 2000 server) has been reinstalled and a bad backup move in the hard drive (excuse my bad english) thanks in advance.

Yeah, recovering data that was deleted/corrupted/overwritten is not something for the average IT Guru. IIRC, this requires microscopic analysis of the platters...or have things changed?

Hi, after that no data has been added, so then is a posssibility to recover, i guess. The lost data is from the accounting department, so in taxes time is really needed, thanks for the answers, is good to here there is a chance to recover.

I have a buddy who works in magnetic data recovery for the private sector. I think the software, tools and techniques you need, is either way out of your price range or only made discretely for the Gov. and the like.
